The answer is 2.8. or around there
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 6 = x + x original problem
x + 6 = 2x combine like terms
-x = -x subtract x from both sides to have like terms on each side
6 = x solution
solution is (4, - 7 )
given the equations
y = 2x - 15 → (1)
4x + 3y = - 5 → (2)
substitute y = 2x - 15 into (2)
4x + 3(2x - 15) = - 5
4x + 6x - 45 = - 5
10x - 45 = - 5 ( add 45 to both sides )
10x = 40 ( divide both sides by 10 )
x = 4
substitute x = 4 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = (2 × 4 ) - 15 = 8 - 15 = - 7
solution is (4, - 7 )
Answer: train A arrives first
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔABC ~ ΔADE
AC/AE = AB/AD
AC/(AC+15) = 8/18
18AC = 8(AC+15)
18AC = 8AC + 120
18AC - 8AC = 120
10AC = 120
AC = 120/10
AC = 12
